PQube, (London, UK) January 25, 2017 – PQUBE Ltd is pleased to announce that AKIBA’S BEAT, the new action RPG from Japanese developer ACQUIRE, is coming to Europe in spring 2017 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita and is getting a Limited Edition.

The Limited Edition of AKIBA’S BEAT will include a high-quality art book and a special box and will be available from selected retailers only across Europe.

Set in an accurate but hyper-stylised recreation of Akihabara, the world-famous district of Tokyo where technology meets culture, AKIBA’S BEAT is an action RPG with real-time party based combat. As dark forces descend on the town, the people’s memories, hopes and dreams manifest in reality and warp Akihabara in strange ways, threatening the very fabric of space and time!

It is up to self-professed NEET, Asahi Tachibana, to lead a rag-tag group of chosen ones to take on the freakish manifestations of Akihabara in this action RPG. Meet Akiba’s colourful characters and form your best team to take on fantasies come to life!

AKIBA’S BEAT will be coming to Europe on PS4 and PSVita in spring 2017
